American comics: I drew Superman during the Great Depression

Fortunately.

What they feared did not happen.

After giving a reminder to the people behind him, the passengers who bought the new issue of "The Courier" turned back and continued to read the serial content in their hands.

Then, as he turned the pages of the newspaper.

Several passengers behind him finally saw the subsequent plot of "Superman".

"Heat vision!"

At the end of the comic, Superman fired two blazing flames from his eyes and defeated the parasitic demon.

Even the passengers who initially believed that the parasitic demon had the ability to fight superhuman beings couldn't help but exclaim.

Limited by the black and white printing of newspapers, the heat vision that Superman first displayed in the comics was only represented by two light gray burning lines.

However, it is such a crude picture.

But it gives readers a huge sense of impact, especially in the plot on the previous page of the newspaper, Superman was still weak because part of his power was absorbed by the parasitic demon.

Readers who saw this scene were worried about Superman's safety and marveled at the power and terror of the parasitic demon.

Who would have thought, next page.

Superman once again showed his powerful strength, firing terrible flames from his eyes, and destroyed the terrible enemy of the Parasite Demon in one fell swoop.

The plot that takes place in just a few dozen seconds is simply more exciting for readers than riding a roller coaster.

Many people couldn't help but make excited noises, cheering for the story of Superman turning defeat into victory.

…

New York, Brooklyn.

"It's me, it's me!"

"The parasitic demon I designed was serialized in the Superman comic!"

Mike looked at "The Courier" and saw the villain Parasite appearing in the latest serialization of "Superman" comics, and couldn't hide his excitement and shouted.

As a loyal fan of "Superman" comics, I was the first to learn about "Messenger Comics" reader interaction.

Mike cut out the last page of the comic and participated in the event.

However, even Mike himself had no hope for the outcome of the interaction.

After all, as a fan, Mike knows the popularity of Superman better than the average person. In order to buy the second issue of "Messenger Comics", he went to four or five newsstands before buying it from his boss. The last Courier Comics.

"I will treasure this edition of the Courier!"

Looking at the newspaper in his hand, Mike murmured.

"Mike Ciszek, I have your letter!"

At this moment, the postman's shout suddenly came from outside the door.

Mike looked around and saw a postman wearing a dark green uniform at the door delivering a letter into his mailbox, and then continued walking to the door of the next house on his bicycle.

"Who sent it?"

With some doubts in his mind, Mike murmured something in his mouth, carefully put away the latest issue of "The Courier", and then went out with doubts and took out the letter from the mailbox.

The Courier Press!

Looking at the shipping address marked on the envelope, Mike's breathing suddenly became a little faster.

Could it be? !

He took a deep breath, tried to control his inner excitement, carefully opened the envelope with trembling hands, and pulled out the letter inside.

"Mr. Mike Ciszek, thank you for participating in this "Courier Comics" reader interactive event. Here, the newspaper office sincerely congratulates you on the character you designed - Parasite, which will be featured in the latest issue of "The Courier Comics" Appearing in the serialized comic "Superman"..."

"God's Coming"

In the letter from the Courier newspaper, Mike was first informed of the fact that the character he designed had been selected by the newspaper to be serialized.

I already know it.

In this regard, Mike's expression did not change much. After all, he had already known this result from the comic strip of "The Courier" before writing the letter.

"...Of course, in addition to expressing gratitude for your participation, the newspaper has also prepared a gift to give you as a prize for winning readers' interaction..."

Reading along the contents of the letter, the expression on Mike's face gradually changed.

prize?

"... This one-page comic of Superman vs. Parasite was created by Mr. Colin Looper, the owner of The Courier Newspaper and the author of the "Superman" comics. I hope you will like it."

Seeing the message on the letter, Mike quickly opened the envelope in his hand.

Sure enough, in addition to the letters he saw, there was also a single-page comic lying quietly inside.

Pulling out this page of comics, Mike held his breath and opened it carefully.

What appeared in front of him was a scene of Superman fighting a parasitic demon. In the comics, Superman waved his fist and hit the parasitic demon hard on the head. The latter had a big mouth and a pink and violet face showing an expression of pain. , seemingly unable to withstand Superman's powerful blow.

That's right, this page of comics given to Mike by the Courier Newspaper not only vividly depicts the scene of Superman and the parasitic demon fighting. At the same time, it also adds color to it. In other words, the comic page in Mike's hand is also the first time that the villain character Parasite has been colored.

At the same time, in the lower right corner of the comic, there is Colin's autograph.

It represents this page of comics, written by him himself.

Looking at this comic page in his hand, Mike could hardly find the words to describe his excitement at this moment.

"This is my Superman and Parasite!"

Use great willpower to control your inner emotions.

At the same time, Mike made a decision in his heart that he must keep this page of comics well.

However, Mike at this time would never think.

The value of this page of comics created by Colin himself will exceed his imagination one day in the future.
